Where Dead People Walk - A Road Movie

An important new documentary film set in the Peruvian Andes, offering a fresh and engaging window into a world we're not normally privy to.

The legendary Q'eros of Peru have lived so isolated from the modern world (think Shangri-la) that when an expedition first made contact with them in 1955, upon hearing their music and watching their rituals they literally thought they had re-discovered the Incas.

Half a century later, another expedition travels to the Q'eros, led by HOLLY WISSLER, a charismatic American ethnomusicologist who, over many years, has built a deeply trusting relationship with them. Since the Q'eros have no electricity, Wissler's expedition involves a crew of 20 people trekking across the Andes at more than 4500 metres - along what soon will become a road connecting the Q'eros to the 21st century - carrying generators, projectors and a movie screen.

The idea is to take back to the Q'eros some of the fabulous documentary films, photographs and musical recordings that have been made over the last 55 years about them, and to project them for the Q'eros themselves.
